The kids can easily whip up these finger-licking-good cheesy meatballs.
Preparation Time
15 minutes
Cooking Time
20 minutes
Makes
15-20 meatballs
Ingredients
- 500g extra lean beef mince
- 1 brown onion, coarsely grated
- 1 medium carrot, peeled, coarsely grated
- 1 small zucchini, ends trimmed, coarsely grated
- 1/4 cup (60ml) reduced-salt tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
- 1 cup (80g) coarsely grated light cheddar
- 1/4 cup (40g) plain flour
- 3/4 cup (70g) dried (packaged) multigrain breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
Method
Combine the beef, onion, carrot, zucchini, tomato sauce, barbecue sauce, cheddar and flour into a medium bowl and use your hands to combine.
Roll tablespoonfuls of the mixture into balls and place on an oven tray. Place the breadcrumbs on a plate. Roll each meatball in breadcrumbs to lightly coat. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the fridge for 30 minutes or until firm.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add half the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, for 5-7 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining meatballs. Serve immediately.
